Exodus 7
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “See, I have given you [as] a god to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron is your prophet;
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Se, jeg har sat dig til en Gud for Farao og Aron, din Broder, skal være din Profet.
2 you speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron speaks to Pharaoh, and he has sent the sons of Israel out of his land.
Du skal tale alt det, som jeg vil befale dig; men Aron, din Broder, skal tale til Farao, at han skal lade Israels Børn drage ud af sit Land.
3 And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,
Men jeg vil forhærde Faraos Hjerte og mangfoldiggøre mine Tegn og mine underlige Gerninger i Ægyptens Land.
4 and Pharaoh does not listen, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;
Og Farao skal ikke høre eder, og jeg vil lægge min Haand paa Ægypterne og udføre mine Hære, mit Folk, Israels Børn, af Ægyptens Land ved store Domme.
5 and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.”
Og Ægypterne skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren, naar jeg udrækker min Haand over Ægypten og fører Israels Børn midt ud fra dem.
6 And Moses does—Aaron also—as YHWH commanded them; so have they done;
Og Mose og Aron gjorde det; saasom Herren havde befalet dem, saa gjorde de.
7 and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty-three years, in their speaking to Pharaoh.
Og Mose var firsindstyve Aar gammel, og Aron tre og firsindstyve Aar gammel, da de talede til Farao.
8 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Og Herren sagde til Mose og til Aron, sigende:
9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, Give a wonder for yourselves; then you have said to Aaron, Take your rod and cast [it] before Pharaoh—it becomes a dragon.”
Naar Farao taler til eder sigende: Gører en underlig Gerning, da skal du sige til Aron: Tag din Stav og kast den for Faraos Ansigt: Den skal blive til en Slange.
10 And Moses goes in—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and they do so as YHWH has commanded; and Aaron casts his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it becomes a dragon.
Da kom Mose og Aron til Farao og gjorde saaledes, som Herren havde befalet, og Aron kastede sin Stav for Farao og for hans Tjenere, og den blev til en Slange.
11 And Pharaoh also calls for wise men and for sorcerers; and the enchanters of Egypt, they also, with their [enchanting] flames, do so,
Da kaldte ogsaa Farao ad de vise og Troldkarlene, men ogsaa disse, de ægyptiske Koglere, gjorde ligesaa med deres Besværgelser.
12 and they each cast down his rod, and they become dragons, and the rod of Aaron swallows their rods;
Og de kastede hver sin Stav, og de bleve Slanger; men Arons Stav opslugte deres Stave.
13 and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.
Og Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, at han hørte dem ikke, ligesom Herren havde sagt.
14 And YHWH says to Moses, “The heart of Pharaoh has been hard, he has refused to send the people away;
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Faraos Hjerte er haardt, han vægrer sig ved at lade Folket fare.
15 go to Pharaoh in the morning, behold, he is going out to the water, and you have stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent you take in your hand,
Gak til Farao aarle, se, han gaar ud til Vandet, og du skal træde frem mod ham ved Bredden af Floden; og din Stav, som var omvendt til en Slange, skal du tage i din Haand.
16 and you have said to him: YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and behold, you have not listened until now.
Og du skal sige til ham: Herren, Hebræernes Gud, har sendt mig til dig og sagt: Lad mit Folk fare, at de kunne tjene mig i Ørken, og se, du har ej villet høre hidindtil.
17 Thus said YHWH: By this you know that I [am] YHWH; behold, I am striking with the rod which [is] in my hand, on the waters which [are] in the River, and they have been turned to blood,
Saa siger Herren: Af dette skal du fornemme, at jeg er Herren; se, jeg slaar med Staven, som jeg har i min Haand, paa Vandet, som er i Floden, og det skal omvendes til Blod.
18 and the fish that [are] in the River die, and the River has stunk, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking waters from the River.”
Og Fiskene, som ere i Floden, skulle dø, og Floden skal lugte ilde, saa at Ægypterne skulle væmmes ved at drikke Vand af Floden.
19 And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood—and there has been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [those of] stone.”
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Sig til Aron: Tag din Stav og ræk din Haand ud over Vandet i Ægypten, over deres Strømme, over deres Floder og over deres Søer og over alle deres Vandsamlinger, og de skulle vorde Blod, og der skal være Blod i hele Ægyptens Land, baade i Træ- og i Stenkarrene.
20 And Moses and Aaron do so, as YHWH has commanded, and he lifts up [his hand] with the rod, and strikes the waters which [are] in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which [are] in the River are turned to blood,
Og Mose og Aron gjorde saa, eftersom Herren havde befalet, og han opløftede Staven og slog Vandet, som var i Floden, for Faraos Øjne og for hans Tjeneres Øjne, og alt Vandet, som var i Floden, omvendtes til Blod.
21 and the fish which [is] in the River has died, and the River stinks, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in all the land of Egypt.
Og Fiskene, som vare i Floden, døde, og Floden lugtede ilde, saa at Ægypterne ikke kunde drikke Vand af Floden; og der blev Blod i hele Ægyptens Land.
22 And the enchanters of Egypt do so with their secrets, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken,
Og de ægyptiske Koglere gjorde ligesaa med deres Besværgelser; og Faraos Hjerte forhærdedes, at han hørte dem ikke, som Herren havde sagt.
23 and Pharaoh turns and goes into his house, and has not set his heart even to this;
Og Farao vendte sig og gik til sit Hus og lagde end ikke dette paa sit Hjerte.
24 and all the Egyptians seek water all around the River to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.
Men alle Ægypterne grove omkring Floden efter Vand at drikke; thi de kunde ikke drikke af Vandet i Floden.
25 And seven days are completed after YHWH’s striking the River.
Og der forløb syv Dage, efter at Herren havde slaget Floden.
